Politico: US allows Ukrainian Armed Forces to use US weapons for attacks on Crimea
The United States has allowed the use of weapons supplied to Kiev to carry out attacks on Crimea, Politico has reported, citing a senior US administration official.
“We (the US) don’t pick targets, of course, all we have supplied is for self-defence. Any target to be chosen on Ukrainian territory is, by definition, self-defence. Crimea is Ukraine,” the publication quoted the interlocutor as saying.
On Wednesday, Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said in an interview with Voice of America* that the US-supplied weapons could be used to attack Crimea
